Hi guys

To make a long story short, this is my first time importing a car and the car will be landing in Brisbane next tuesday (28/10/2008). Everying is fine so far, except I DO NOT have an Import Approval yet!

What will happen to my car if it landed without import approval? what should I do now?

It not like I havnt give the compliancing shop enough time to get the import approval, I have paid them the deposit and signed the paperwork 4 weeks ago (23/09/2008).

So, any help or advise for my situation is appreciated.

PS: I live in Brisbane, QLD

My help would be to post this in the Import Section as this question is related to importing... And if there is an Import company that is bringing in your car.. call them and ask.. as this is their job and i'm sure they'll know

yeah, I realised i posted in the wrong forum, but i have no clue how to change it, anyone can help?

I believe i gave the compliancing ppl enough time to get the paper work done, I was told by both the import broker and the comliancing ppl it would take around 2 ~ 3 weeks to get the approval. It's been 4 weeks since I paid the compliancing centre.

Simple - if you've given them enough time to apply for it, take any storage fees off the cost of compliance. Still got time for it to come through yet, so don't panic.

so the car will only be stored at the dock? The compliancing centre told me the car may be returned to japan...

I guess all I can do now is sit and wait and hope the approval will come thru, or this will be my first and last car import

Ask your import broker for advice - that is what you're paying them for!!!

What car is it that you're bringing in? Presuming it's eligible, your compliance workshop sounds like they're on crack...

Umm, the broker is on taking a break at the momment and wont be back until next tuesday, the day my car should arrive in Brisbane, the reason being the exchange rate fluctuating wildly. So, email communication is out, but I will give him a call tomorrow to see how it goes.

and the car I am importing is just a 2005 auto v35 skyline, no mods or crash history. Shouldnt be a problem bout the car hey?

      City of Casey - This is obscene!

      Sounds like it may all just be some baseless outrage stoked by the carexplore guy? As in the linked social media outrage on facebook just goes back to carexplore as a source again. Further shown by the council response that nothing actually has changed: "The Private Land Use Permit has been part of the Casey Community Local Law for a number of years. It's important to clarify that this permit is not new, and no changes have been made to the permit or the Local Law in relation to the permit." The full council response in Prank's link sounds reasonable to me. Saying that as someone who neither lives there nor has a front yard to call their own

      Clutch hydraulics are also all good, looks like a brand new slave cylinder and everything bled up well. No idea what the actual clutch is, and I don't intend to pull the box off on the floor to find out, so unless we have trouble on the dyno or at shakedown that will remain a mystery for the new owner

      Front brakes are G4 8 pot calipers over 330mm discs with braided lines. Everything looks good, pretty sure these are off my old 350. Pads are brand new and judging from gold colour are Winmax which is what I also run on my race car, Neil and I both sourced brake stuff from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney who really knows his stuff Everything has bled up nicely with all new Motul RBF600 fluid, there were 2 loose hard line connections and the calipers were new on the car so I ended up doing it 3 times but it is perfect now

      So, starting with the rear brakes. They look like standard R33 GTST, and will need new pads shortly (less than 5mm material, probably only 1 day left). The slotted discs (probably DBA) are near new at 18.01mm and the lines are braided
